Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master.

If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.

Have you ever realized that you can give things to God that are of value to Him? Or are you just sitting around daydreaming about the greatness of His redemption, while neglecting all the things you could be doing for Him? I'm not referring to works which could be regarded as divine and miraculous, but ordinary, simple human things - things which would be evidence to God that you are totally surrendered to Him.

We must get to the place of real solitude with Christ. He is our mountain-height and our sea-calm.

One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.

When I see Jesus Christ I simply want to be what He wants me to be.

Prayer is God's answer to our poverty, not a power we exercise to obtain an answer.
